Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Ehon warai jogo (Picture book: the laughing drinker) by Kitagawa Utamaro was sold in the Japanese and Korean Art Including the Collection of David and Nayda Utterberg auction at Christies in New York in March last year. The price achieved of USD 25,200.00 (€ 22,717.03) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kitagawa Utamaro achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L'amour évident (Arawaruru koi), portrait en buste (okubi-e) d'une jeune femme s'arrangeant une épingle à cheveux sur fond micacé, de la série Anthologie de poèmes: la section de l'amour, (Kasen koi no bu in May 2018 with an auction result of EUR 381,000.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Ehon warai jogo (Picture book: the laughing drinker) von Kitagawa Utamaro wurde im März letzten Jahres in der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art Including the Collection of David and Nayda Utterberg bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 25.200,00 (€ 22.717,03) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kitagawa Utamaro erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit L'amour évident (Arawaruru koi), portrait en buste (okubi-e) d'une jeune femme s'arrangeant une épingle à cheveux sur fond micacé, de la série Anthologie de poèmes: la section de l'amour, (Kasen koi no bu im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 381.000,00.
